Judge Mary Celeste is extremely knowledgeable in many areas of substance-impaired driving. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her on multiple occasions and each experience has been delightful. Whether we are presenting on a panel together, or seeking her expertise to review text for an article or website, she’s been dependable and added another level of understanding to the topic.
